The figures in the Table show that the produce in this sixth 
season of the attempt to grow Clover continuously on the same 
land, and after two years of entire failure, was in every case 
small. Comparing Series with Series, the crop is the best Avhere 
the farmyard manure alone was employed ; the next best, where 
the Farmyard manure and Lime were used ; and it was the worst 
where no manure was now employed, and where, for the most 
part, mineral manures alone had previously been em})loyed. 
Still, comparing the results within each Series, there is again 
evidence of some increase on those plots which had formerly 
received manures containing potash, and phospho7'ic acid. 
The plant of 1855 died off in the succeeding winter. The 
land was ploughed up and allowed to remain fallow during 1856 
and 1857.
